Happy Labor Day

The weather's been great (jeans, leggings with plaid, sweaters and sunshine), football had a strong opening with wins for the Wolverines and Hoosiers, and we took full advantage of 3 uninterrupted Daddy Days plus an end of summer holiday weekend. Some highlights...

early morning run with Daddy

We went to a party at the new facility for Elle's soccer team. She ran a few drills with the coaches and kicked the ball around with Daddy. I'm really looking forward to watching her in action when her class starts this week.

E is for...Eloise

We took a train downtown and walked home via the loop, Millenium park and the lakeshore path.

We'd be remiss not to mention the best burgers we've ever had. Truly. We have a fantastic new restaurant very close to our house...The Urban Burger Bar. We can't wait to take My Brother Dave and Uncle Jon to this new spot. I got the horseradish bar cheese burger...out of this world.

George is 11 weeks old now. Unbelievable. Here he is testing out his crib.

Eloise starts preschool tomorrow. She'll be fine. New backpack...check. Haircut...check. Paperwork filled out...check. Family photo in case she misses us...check. Now me, I'm not so sure. Sniff.
